Crafty Homemade Coastal Christmas Decorations

My crafty homemade coastal Christmas 2011.

homemade shell tree topper
Razor shells from the beach are my Coastal Christmas Tree Topper. I tied the first shell to the tree with wire, then hot glued the other shells on top, plus added a piece of seaglass for a touch of green.

I cut out a ribbon garland from left over drop cloth, made a stencil to get blue waves on it with spray paint, and fringed the edges. Crafty Christmas decorations as promised.



homemade christmas stockings
My husb made a stocking and an awesome wooden lighthouse. The stocking was store bought and toned down with mesh fabric, then edged with rope.
